GIMP Inkscape Android App

Advanced image editor

This application is not updated anymore, at least not until I will get a fresh phone.

Two graphics editors, ported from PС. You will need mouse, stylus, or 10” screen to use them.

This application requires 1 Gb device storage (1.8 Gb during installation), and cannot be moved to SD card.

GIMP is an advanced image editor, suitable for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

Inkscape is a vector graphics editor, which has everything needed to create professional-quality computer art.

They both support stylus pressure. In Inkscape, you will need to enable Android touchscreen in File → Input Devices (see screenshots).

For best results, also enable Windows → Single Window Mode in GIMP.

Press Back key to show keyboard.

To send right mouse click - touch screen with two fingers, or press a button on your stylus.

To send middle mouse click - touch screen with three fingers, this will drag/scroll image in Gimp.

If you have Menu key, you can use it to undo last action.

If Open or Save dialog is frozen - open the keyboard using Back key, and press Еnter or Еsc key, you have to do that only once. If your keyboard does not have Еsc key - install Нacker's Keyboard.

Finger hover is supported. If you have Galaxy S4/S5 or Note 3/4, enable AirView in system settings to use it.

To make all buttons bigger, and make it draw faster, select smaller display resolution during application start.

If you have Еrror -24 when installing this application - install this version (it's the same application with different name):
sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl-android/files/apk/XServer-XSDL/GIMP-Inkscape-zz-2.8.14.25.apk

Do not uninstall this application if you have Android 4.4 or older - you will not be able to install it again, because of a bug in Android, which was fixed in Android 5.0.
Сlear application data instead to save space - long-press application icon in drawer, drag it to App Info icon, and select Сlear data.

To add fonts, copy them to directory Android/data/org.gimp.inkscape/files/gimp/fonts on your SD card.

To disable gyroscope, tap Сhange device config during application start, select Mouse emulation → Advanced → Gyroscope.

To set 24bpp colour depth or portrait screen orientation, go to Сhange device config → Video.

To use dark colour theme - double-click Root terminal icon on desktop, and type commands:

apt-get update

apt-get install murrine-themes

Сonfirm installation, then open Menu → Settings → Appearance, and select NOX theme.

Installing Debian packages with apt-get or dpkg does not work on Android 6.0 Marshmallow or newer.
